This paper reviews the current state of the art in handwriting recognition research. The
paper deals with issues such as hand-printed character and cursive handwritten word
recognition. It describes recent achievements, difficulties, successes and challenges in
all aspects of handwriting recognition. It also presents a new approach which
dramatically improves current handwriting recognition systems. Some experimental
results are included.
